Not since Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid has a little-known story from American History come to light and been told with such authenticity and love. WANTED DEAD: The Legend of Henry Berry Lowrie is about the days following the American Civil War when White elites, Jim Crow, and the Ku Klux Klan emerged to ensure nonwhites remained submissive, oppressed and downtrodden. It is the age-old story of American rich whites trying to prevent the poor from rising up to better themselves at the white man’s expense. Henry’s mother said it best, In these here parts, if you ain’t White, you got no rights! Yet, against the odds, Henry Berry Lowrie led a small band of brothers to resist and terrorize those who sought to continue White-control over the nonwhite citizens of North Carolina.In reply, the ruling Whites raised the reward on Henry Berry again and again until their final offer was over $800,000 in today’s money. Only Harriet Tubman was more hated by the defeated Confederates! To put the amount of reward money into perspective, consider that the bounty offered for killing Henry Berry Lowrie was eight times the amount collected for the murder of Jessie James.This story is the kind of lovable rogue saga that everyone treasures. The author has written a tale that you will want to stay with to the end. Henry Berry’s determination to preserve the community, protect family and friends, exact justice and to enjoy life in the face of adversity is as inspiring as it is entertaining. This story delivers the most satisfying true ending of any hunted outlaw - ever!And, it’s all documented American History!Who was this man?And, why haven’t you heard his story?
